As we all know, riding a Goldwing or a K1200Lt, requires a certain skill set. That being said, this is a "must see" video link via youtube. If the link doesn't work, cut and paste it into your browser. If that doesn't work, run a search on youtube "Chester with Gold Wing Figure 8's".

All I can tell you is that this video wants to make you want to go out and practice on your bike.

After reading all these posts, looks like no one here has taken an experienced rider course. I practice these for curb to to curb turns. Sure he's doing it at a higher speed, but that makes it easier and he's using a lot more room. Let's see him do it that fast in a defined box like the requirement for ERC.

It's actually easier the faster you go..... which is why he doesn't have to move his body during the fast ones...... Not bad though... just nothing special though for the special ed GL rider he no doubt stands out.....

I wonder how long GL clutches last doing that?

Like Harley the Wing has a wet clutch operating in the engine oil. Much easier on the clutch when "feathering" in the "friction" zone.

I don't think you can do a donut any tighter than he was while his buddy was in the middle!
Way tighter than a curb to curb turn.
Just my .02

+1
If anyone can do it tighter than that, video and post for well deserved OOOOH's and AAHHHH's. I for one cannot come close to that tight of a turn on my K1200 and haven't ridden a wing enough to know how tight I could get on one. I would like to see someone on a K1200LT doing it though.

OBTW, I can grind my LT in really tight turns at that speed too!!!

Video please.

And did you watch what he does at 1:09 and 1:46 in that video? MADD SKILLZ!!!
